Protesters were posted outside the BISD board meeting on Thursday, September 20, 2012, in hopes to gain proof that an adult cosmetology class was canceled because of budget constraints and not because the principal at Taylor Career Center did not want to enroll a man he believes is gay.

Andrea Lawrence double checks her bible while working on a big sign. Kountze cheerleaders, friends and supportive parents who are standing up for their kids and their beliefs, were making signs and painting car windows Wednesday afternoon that will be seen around Kountze in support of the cheerleaders who were told they could not put scripture on their football signs. Each game this season, the Kountze cheerleaders have made Christian-themed run-through signs for the football players. The signs, which featured scripture verses, went viral and have now been stopped by the school district's leaders who were told by a group the signs were offensive and against the separation of church and state.

Head Referee Cliff Landry, center, with the captains watching, flips the coin for the second time in front of the fans. There are two different moments that occur before the start of a football game involving the coin toss. The actual coin toss occurs close to the end zone that is nearest the field house/locker rooms right after the players finish pre-game warmups. Coaches and a player or two from each team join the game officials for the toss that determines who gets the ball first and what side of the field the teams' will defend to start the game. The second toss occurs at midfield right before the game starts. This is really just a symbolic coin toss to let the spectators know who kicks off and receives to start the game. These decisions were already made in the earlier coin toss. Dave Ryan/The Enterprise
